Scope 1: Direct emissions

Scope 1 includes direct emissions from the company’s activities and resources they own and control. The types of emissions that fall into this category are the emissions produced by the company’s facilities and vehicles, for example, emissions associated with fuel combustion in boilers, furnaces and vehicles. Electric vehicles do not fall under its purview.

Scope 2: Indirect emissions from electricity purchased and used (owned)

Scope 2 emissions get created during the production of the energy and eventually used by the company. For example, those could be greenhouse gas emissions released in the atmosphere from the consumption of heat and cooling or coal combustion when generating electricity for industrial processes.
